Trolling for GIANT Lake Trout - with GAINT Crankbaits - Through GIANT Icebergs!

Well, the time has FINALLY come to get back in the LUND and get above some big MAMAS!!!
Due to half the lake being covered by ice still, we were only able to get out a short distance from town, but we were able to put together a nice program for some really nice lake trout!
Trolling these t60 flatfish and Kwikfish is sooo incredibly fun. Expect more content like this, except with bigger and meaner mamas!!

[@frontierfishingwithryanmac1981]

Lucky Strike makes an amazing lure for lake trout called the “Half Wave” It is our GO TOO lure (at Frontier Fishing Lodge) and it catches A LOT of BIG LAKERS! Trolling those big Sandy flats at the outflow of the Thelon is a dream - that’s BIG BIG fish country!! I would love to troll some BIG white streamer flies across those flats in 10 ft of water or less in the evening..Keep living the dream!!’ Great video as always!!

[@JustinJenkenAssortedMeats]

Awww yea those spoons are all kinds of sexay!!!

[@JustinJenkenAssortedMeats]

I haven't put in much time fishing the shallower aspect of the flat. I have noticed the bite is in full force right on the break of the 12-22' break in the golden hours of 6-9 pm. Perhaps when it slows around that 9pm mark I should come up shallower!

"beach season is five or six hours on the hottest day of the year" that got me good. Do you have any pickling recipes? Looking for a good pike one.

@@JustinJenkenAssortedMeats bro, there were some great dingers on this one! As far as pickling, it goes well with your brand! Plus I've done like a super high level browsing on the subject and well not much KZbin content of pickling pike or any other fish. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

[@joedennehy386]

Great video thanks. Watching from new Zealand, we are told never to put our hands in the gills of fish, as it supposedly kills them within a day or 2 Is there any research on that where you fish?

[@JustinJenkenAssortedMeats]

Allll the way from across the pond!!! Amazing man!! Just watched a video of your Prime Minister and I'm genuinely considering moving over there haha. I would imagine they would die if you were getting your hands up in their rakers they'd die in less time than that but with these bigger lake trout, if you know what to avoid, you can come absolutely nowhere near any of the sensitive bits in their gills. The gill plate is like the perfect handle on these big mamas!

I've lived out there for 9 years or so from Bozeman to Laramie; nothing to underestimate. As I said, it's winding roads, steep, and remote.
